"Jose and his crew were wonderful to work with. They were very professional and finished the job in 3 days (7 rooms and 2 hallways), walls, ceilings and trim. They made sure the job was done to my satisfaction. I would highly recommend Advancepro for any painting job."

"Kenny and his team did an exceptional job painting a few rooms and walls in a new house my family and I are moving into. The painting project consisted of 3 rooms and an accent wall. His team arrived promptly and got right to work. Overall, extremely satisfied with the finished product, quality of work, and price. I would consider hiring them again for their services on future projects."

"Luis replaced 10 boards on our deck and Luis did a fantastic job! He was on time, very professional, cleaned up the old debris and did a high-quality job. He has maintained our deck for many years and always does great work. We highly recommend him for board replacement, stain, staining, and painting."

"The painters on job performed very well. Owners never showed up on job. When we told them that the 2 steps had not been power washed - no one spoke English so they stained right over the non-prepared steps. We signed contract and paid the price and as understood, paid for paint and supplies. The PROBLEM IS THAT THEY OVERPRICED THE JOB. For the approximately 56 hours of work they ended up charging us $160 per hour per person! We believe every company should make a profit but this is ridiculous. We tried to talk with them, but they did not call back . WARNING- get an estimate of hours and the price so you know what you are paying for."

"My husband and I moved into a 1600 sq ft condo in April 2025 and needed the entire place painted before we moved in. We needed the project to be completed by our move date and Donn did an incredible job. He is extremely reliable and was always punctual which I really appreciated. With great attention to detail, he painted all the walls and trim. He filled in cracks and holes and painted to perfection! He made our condo look brand new! His easy going personality and professionalism made him super easy to work with while his talent and excellent skill sets ensured that the job was done to perfection. We couldn’t be happier with the job he did for us and would hire him again without hesitation. I recommend him 100% for any handiwork or paint job you might have. You won’t be disappointed!"

FAQs for painting projects in Mount Airy, MD

Most homeowners opt for semi-gloss or high-gloss paint to make the baseboards stand out against the walls. If you’d rather keep things subtle, matching the wall sheen with eggshell or satin also works well. When your trim has nicks or dents, reach for a flatter, matte finish—it hides minor imperfections better than a shiny coat.

Stripping old paint from trim costs $1 to $3 per linear foot. Pros use specialized tools and techniques to lift away existing layers without gouging the wood, then prep the surface for a fresh finish. While it adds to your budget, proper removal protects the molding and sets the stage for a smoother, longer-lasting paint job.

Tackling the baseboards first often leads to crisper lines. Painting trim first lets you tape off the boards instead of the walls, so you’re less likely to splatter color where you don’t want it. Any stray marks on the wall get covered when you roll on the final coat, making the whole process faster and tidier.

You can absolutely paint baseboards in place. Leaving them installed avoids the risk of cracking or misaligning the boards when they’re reattached. With thorough cleaning, light sanding, and careful taping, a pro—or an experienced DIYer—can achieve a sharp, factory-smooth finish while saving you the hassle of prying off and reinstalling trim.

Painting almost always beats replacement in cost. Swapping out baseboards runs about $150 in DIY materials or roughly $1,100 with a pro, while repainting costs about $50 in supplies and $1 to $5 per square foot for labor. Unless the boards are warped or severely damaged, a fresh coat delivers the same visual upgrade for a fraction of the price.

Paintable caulk and wood filler are the go-to fixes for nail holes in baseboards. Wood filler sands flush for a glass-smooth surface, while caulk provides a flexible seal that won’t crack as the house settles. Either way, patching those tiny divots before you prime ensures your finished baseboards look seamless.
